Re: I am upgrading to BT Infinity finally, but...

Openreach haven't supplied modems for something around 3 years. Infinity is now self install. So if you don't want the new hub and want to keep using the hub 3 you will need to buy a modem.

You can get a used Openreach modem from the usual auction site or buy a new third party modem. There are two devices that would do the job. The Netgear DM200, which is a router and needs configured as a modem 'only' or the DrayTek Vigor 130, which is a pure modem and works right out of the box. No configuration required.

The final possibility is to buy a VDSL router which obviously won't broadcast the BT Wifi Fon signal and let you disable wireless altogether if that is what you want.

Re: I am upgrading to BT Infinity finally, but...

Thanks for that Liam. I'll take your advice and purchase one of the modems you've suggested.

@John46

Check out the webpage in the first link and you'll see that none of the hubs can have their wireless transmissions stopped completely. Only the home hub 3 can be turned off completely. The rest still emit a microwave signal for the BTFON service - even if wireless is turned off!

Though as has been noted on this forum many times, it would seem BT don't have the ability to leave it disabled. New firmware seems to equal re-enabling of BT WiFi irrespective of whether a user has opted out.
